Ten to 15 percent of pregnant or postpartum women suffer from a mood complications during the perinatal period. This is common but not how becoming a new mother is supposed to feel. If you are anxious, depressed, angry/rageful, experiencing intrusive images/thoughts that flash through your mind, or feel like you are "losing it", please seek the help that you need and deserve. Even if you are just having more bad days than good, you can feel better!

You may be worried about your partner, daughter, sister or best friend, and trying to find her help. Please let her know that help is available. With the mother's permission, please reach out so that your loved one can begin her road to wellness.

Women struggling with infertility, miscarriage and still birth also need and deserve extra support during this very trying time.
